Reading a situation through a GSI lens

A structured way to read who is affected by a plan or a project, and who was left out of the version already on the table.

In this lecture

  • Map stakeholders by exposure and by voice
  • Identify who was consulted and who was not
  • Read a plan for its unstated assumptions

Two questions, asked separately

Who is affected by a decision and who had a say in it are two different questions, and a plan can score well on one while failing the other completely. Reading a plan through a GSI lens means asking both, and naming the gap when they diverge.

The unstated assumption is the one that excludes

A consultation scheduled for a weekday afternoon assumes the attendee does not do paid or unpaid care work that hour. Most exclusion in planning is not a decision, it is an unexamined assumption about who the 'typical' participant is.
